Information

Barn Light Electric's collection of Rustic and Industrial Wall Sconces covers the design periods ranging from before World War I to the late 1950s. This encompasses both the Streamline Moderne movement and the Atomic Era. We also find inspiration in the nautical lights found on steam ships and bulkheads from that time period. The original vapor proof design helped reduce the possibility of gas and fume ignition from the enclosed lightbulb.

Rustic Light Fixtures in those eras were typically built to withstand installation in taxing settings. They were used for practical purposes — the style they provided was often an afterthought. Today this is different. Modern, contemporary decors are often defined by a stripped-down aesthetic. To meet those styles interior designers regularly incorporate nautical lights into those settings. However, our fixtures shouldn't be restricted to a single style. This collection of rustic wall sconces also suits the looks of traditional and country decors.

The emphasis on style doesn't mean this industrial lighting cedes any durability. At Barn Light Electric we manufacture our rustic lighting to the same high standards as those original lighting companies. Our selection of nautical wall lights is made from commercial grade materials, ensuring a lifetime of service.

Much like their predecessors, our nautical sconces are frequently installed in outdoor settings. These wall lights are often wet-rated, making them the perfect addition to beach houses and other waterfront locations. Reminiscent of those classic lights, a nautical sconce can enhance the style of those settings, while the durability helps them stand up to the salty ocean air.
